Our take

CleanPlate review

Four synthetic dyes in a dark chocolate cone

Havmor Dark Chocolate is a 110 ml cone: ice cream (69%) with cocoa solids (6.4%), chocolate (6.1%) and four synthetic colours (110, 102, 122, 133), a topping and spraying layer (15%) and a wafer biscuit cone (16%) with caramel colour. The pack prints the panel per 110 ml serve, converted here to per 100 ml.

CleanPlate scores it [R]ED3. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 ml. The D for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by milk solids, sugar and cocoa solids), with additives that cost points: polysorbate 80, carboxymethyl cellulose, caramel colour and flavouring. A red flag (Southampton Six x3+) cuts the score by 40%. The 3 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (6.73 g per 100 ml) and free sugar (16.4 g per 100 ml).

Claims vs reality

What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.

  • Product name

    “Dark Chocolate”

    Partly true

    Cocoa solids (6.4%) and chocolate (6.1%) are in the ice cream, but four dyes and artificial vanilla flavouring are also listed.

  • On the pack

    “Made of Milk”

    Partly true

    Milk solids are listed in the ice cream, but palm oils make up the topping and the cone.

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Ice cream (69%): water, milk solids, sugar, cocoa solids (6.4%), chocolate (6.1%), emulsifiers (471, 433), stabilisers (466, 412, 407a, 410), artificial vanilla flavouring and four synthetic colours (110, 102, 122, 133). Topping and spraying (15%) and wafer biscuit cone (16%).

Per 100 ml: 203 kcal, 10.2 g fat of which 6.73 g saturated, 19.1 g sugar of which 16.4 g added, 3.36 g protein, 38.8 mg sodium. Trans fat (0.05 g per 100 ml) is not counted because milk solids and palm oils are the fats listed and none is hydrogenated.

Ingredients to watch

  • Synthetic dyesConcern

    Four are listed (110, 102, 122, 133), three of them in the Southampton Six.
